FCC/IC Notice
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation. To maintain compliance with
FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a
handset on your body, use the Kyocera Wireless
Corp. (KWC) supplied and approved case CV90M2402-01, CV90-M2403-01, holster CV90-M228801, universal pouch CV90-61344-03, and CV90M250X-01.
Other accessories used with this device for bodyworn operations must not contain any metallic
components and must provide at least 15 mm
separation distance including the antenna and the
user’s body.
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission of the
U.S. Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that were
developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set
by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.*
82-G1673-1EN.book Page iii Tuesday, August 22, 2006 1:23 PM
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions specified by the FCC with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level
in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value.
This is because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the power
required to reach the network. In general, the closer
you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower
the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that
it does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.
The tests are performed in positions and locations
(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model.
Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon availability of accessories
and FCC requirements. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization
for this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR information on this model
phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under
the Display Grant section
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on the
FCC ID: OVFKWC-K24B.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet
Association (CTIA) web-site at
http://www.wow-com.com.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for
mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/
kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for
any variations in measurements.
User Guide for the Kyocera K342 Phone
Caution
The user is cautioned that changes or modifications
not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the warranty and user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
Optimize your phone’s performance
Use the guidelines on page 2 to learn how to
optimize the performance and life of your phone
and battery.
Air bags
If your vehicle has an air bag, DO NOT place
installed or portable phone equipment or other
objects over the air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. If equipment is not properly installed, you and
your passengers risk serious injury.
Medical devices
Pacemakers—Warning to pacemaker wearers:
Wireless phones, when in the ‘on’ position, have
been shown to interfere with pacemakers. The phone
should be kept at least six (6) inches away from the
pacemaker to reduce risk.
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association and
the wireless technology research community
recommend that you follow these guidelines to
minimize the potential for interference.
• Always keep the phone at least six inches
(15 centimeters) away from your pacemaker
when the phone is turned on.
• Do not carry your phone near your heart.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker.
• If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, turn off your phone
immediately.
Hearing aids—Some digital wireless phones may
interfere with hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your service
provider or call the customer service line to discuss
alternatives.
Other medical devices—If you use any other personal
medical device, consult the manufacturer of the
device to determine if it is adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be able to
help you obtain this information.
iii
82-G1673-1EN.book Page iv Tuesday, August 22, 2006 1:23 PM
In health care facilities—Turn your phone off in health
care facilities when instructed. Hospitals and health
care facilities may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
Potentially unsafe areas
Posted facilities—Turn your phone off in any facility
when posted notices require you to do so.
Aircraft—FCC regulations prohibit using your phone
on a plane that is in the air. Turn your phone off or
switch it to Airplane Mode before boarding aircraft.
Vehicles—RF signals may affect improperly installed
or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer of the device
to determine if it is adequately shielded from external
RF energy.
Blasting areas—Turn off your phone where blasting is
in progress. Observe restrictions, and follow any
regulations or rules.
Potentially explosive atmospheres—Turn off your
phone when you are in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are
often, but not always, clearly marked. They include:
• fueling areas such as gas stations
• below deck on boats
• transfer or storage facilities for fuel or chemicals
• vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as
propane or butane
• areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders
• any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine
Use with care
Use only in normal position (to ear). Avoid dropping,
hitting, bending, or sitting on the phone.
Keep phone dry
If the phone gets wet, turn the power off immediately
and contact your dealer. Water damage may not be
covered under warranty.
iv
Resetting the phone
If the screen seems frozen and the keypad does not
respond to keypresses, reset the phone by
completing the following steps:
1. Remove the battery door.
2. Remove and replace the battery.
If the problem persists, return the phone to the dealer
for service.
Accessories
Use only Kyocera-approved accessories with
Kyocera phones. Use of any unauthorized
accessories may be dangerous and will invalidate
the phone warranty if said accessories cause
damage or a defect to the phone.
Radio Frequency (RF) energy
Your telephone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
When it is on, it receives and sends out RF energy.
Your service provider’s network controls the power of
the RF signal. This power level can range from 0.006
to 0.6 watts.
In August 1996, the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines
with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones.
These guidelines are consistent with the safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies in the
following reports:
• ANSI C95.1 (American National Standards
Institute, 1992)
• NCRP Report 86 (National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements, 1986)
• ICNIRP (International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, 1996)
Your phone complies with the standards set by these
reports and the FCC guidelines.
E911 mandates
Where service is available, this handset complies
with the Phase I and Phase II E911 Mandates issued
by the FCC.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) with Mobile Phones
Battery and charger specifications
Some mobile phones and hearing devices (hearing
aids and cochlear implants), when used together,
result in buzzing, humming, or whining noises
detected by the user. Some hearing devices are
more immune than others to this interference noise,
and phones also vary in the amount of interference
they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed
ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist
hearing device users in finding phones that may be
compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones
have been rated. Phones that are rated have the
rating on their box or a label on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees and results will vary
depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing
loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable
to interference, you may not be able to use a rated
phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your
hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.
M-Ratings— Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to generate less
interference to hearing devices than phones that are
not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity
to this type of interference. Your hearing device
manufacturer or hearing health professional may
help you choose the proper rating for your mobile
phone. The more immune your hearing aid is, the
less likely you are to experience interference noise
from mobile phones.
For more information about hearing aid compatibility,
visit the FCC's Consumer & Governmental
Affairs Bureau Web site at www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
